What mode does everybody have their Vortech on?

BR12349 · 05/09/2011, 07:05 PM

Just Curious on what everybody's favorite setting is. I have a 110 gallon and I'm trying to figure out what mode to put my MP40 on.

i run mine in short pulse mode to create a wave

oldsaint · 05/09/2011, 07:45 PM

Just shy of full power, about a medium-long pulse.

Daimyo68 · 05/09/2011, 07:49 PM

Reef Crest, 70% +- power

naterealbig · 05/09/2011, 08:59 PM

Reef Crest @ 10% power. 3 MP60's on the back wall.

tgray3 · 05/09/2011, 09:08 PM

Short pulse on an LPS tank. Love the wave and the LPS sway back and forth with it.

g8rsnook · 05/10/2011, 08:50 AM

Run mine in EcoSmart Tidal Swell or Nutrient Transport. Swithing modes every couple of days. I have it turned to about 60% power. My MP10 produces a lot of wave movement in my 65g tank.

Reef Crest @ 60% on 180

reeffinatic · 05/10/2011, 10:06 AM

I have 2 mp10s on my back wall as well as one mp40. The mp10s are at about 90% power reef crest mode. the mp40 about 60 % same mode. on the sides I have 2 mp40's set at about 80-90% reef crest mode. I love the random patterns and it keeps everything moving and anything in suspension is gone asap.

Do you have pics and info on your tank? I just recently inherited one and plan on setting it up pretty soon. So far I have purchased the SRO 2000I skimmer and the Coralvue 6x54 watt plus 10 LED light set up. I'm looking for other ideas. How does the MP40 preform on your tank. I want some wicked flow and wonder if I should go with two of them.
